    I will never be thoroughly convinced that Malcom Guite isn't secretly a hobbit

      He most certainly is, I'd guess River folk, considering how much he travels, and explores, and braves out inthe world. OR he's just on an adventure, like Bilbo.

    Speaking of John Donne - one of my ancestors is Sir Nicholas Hilliard who was a painter in the court of Queen Elizabeth. He painted Donne, Philip Sidney, Walter Raleigh, and the Queen!

    Dearest Sir: In these fractious times your calmness and kindness, your sense of joy and wonder, and your love for all humankind pour forth as a balm on my soul. Bless you. (And, if you must, point my praise away from yourself and toward heaven. Isn't that what the world's humble treasures do?)

    is there a greater man than this man known as Mr Guite? By what charm was Belfast blessed to be visited by this reverend and Tolkein disciple? Friend of us all, Malcolm. May you be eternally inspired to share your words with us on UA-cam dear friend

      With respect, I hate to break this news to you, and there is no real easy way to say it, and I hope it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, but UA-cam is a temporal platform, not an eternal one 🤦‍♂️

    • @brewonit4831

      @johnjsteinbeck, relax, a believer’s life can experience this moment eternally, what do you gain by merely dissolving the reality by claiming “respect” and completely miss the value, because you interjected your “righteous” pious technical examination that seeks to correct by taking a context to a miserable fault. Here’s a thought… enjoy your rebuke, now how do you like your self righteousness comment? When you answer make sure your in front of a mirror and in case you forgot
      Open your eyes and pull the plank out.

      Yes! He’s such a beautiful man, soul! I recently listened to a talk where he mentioned getting an emergency phone call from a colleague at the college while accompanying his Dad to a funeral and he had to leave the funeral. He rushed off to try and help a suicidal student from jumping off a ledge. 😢 He was successful. I can’t think of a better person to be able to shed hope on someone who is struggling in this world. I just love him! Also, in this same story he spoke of a poem he wrote for his dear friend that stayed by his Dads side at the funeral when he had to leave. The whole talk was amazing!

    I’m lucky enough to be visiting Belfast from Australia very soon, so how amazing is it to open up UA-cam and find that Malcolm has gone on ahead of me and posted this video (almost as a sort of encouragement)! Thank you Malcolm!

    When I Survey is one of my favorite hymns. Thank you for discussing the hymn today. I was at the Getty Sing 2024 in Nashville and sang in the choir. Also, I interrupted you on Monday morning as you were checking in and asked if you would autograph my copy of your wonderful book, David's Crown. You graciously agreed, for which I extend great thanks. It was an honor to meet you for that brief encounter and a great joy to hear you read your poems in the sessions. You are a treasure. God bless and keep you. Merry Hanning

    Malcolm, thank you for coming to Belfast ! !
    I was blessed to be able to hear you speak at the Communion service in the church that CS Lewis was connected to.
    I was so encouraged by the thought of how every day we are growing spiritually younger, moving West to East, every day a day closer to the day of salvation and the "Good Morning ! " when death is swallowed up !

  • @benconnolly9883
    @benconnolly9883 23 дні тому +1

    Wonderful! I was overjoyed to travel with my choir not long ago to sing two Masses in the Anglican Ordinariate tradition - one of our communion hymns was When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Rockingham tune), and it had such a beautiful descant on the final verse. Hearing your reflection on it was inspiring! God keep you, Malcolm!

    That library reminds me of the rare book room at Davidson college, where my wrestling team mates and I partook in evening study hall. It sounds odd but you bring to mind all of my favorite teachers from my boarding school days, an episcopal school as it were. I sincerely hope to meet you one day and share a pipe as well as our faith.

    You may have done a spell on it already, but I think another spell in the library on when Eustace is turned back into a boy in Voyage of the Dawn Treader would be lovely. It’s such a profound picture of how Jesus tears off our old selves and clothes us in new righteousness.

    Dear Mr. Guite, do you feel that the text of Shakepeare’s plays in “The Arden Shakespeare Third Series Complete Works” is a preferred version? I am looking at the Folio Society’s beautiful new complete works edition, and am not sure about the version of text which they have selected, as I’d really like to re-read a number of plays. I enjoy your time shared here immensely. Thank you. Best, Liz
